those who have been, and continue to be persecuted because of their
sexuality. AI Queensland is seeking to set up such a network, with a
view to including interested AI members across Australia.
Anyone who is interested in joining the network or who has suggestions
as to other acronyms, please contact Paul Tavatgis in the Regional
Office mailto:qldaia@ozemail.com.au.
There are still copies of the book "Breaking the Silence" produced by
